Fresh tragedy has struck Niger State as terrorists attacked communities in Agwara Local Government Area, killing at least 40 people and abducting several villagers, including students of St Mary’s Private Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools, Papiri. PremiumTimesNg.com reported on January 4 that the affected schoolchildren were reabducted just days after regaining freedom from an earlier captivity following negotiations with the government. Residents say the attackers operated from the Kainji National Park, leaving communities devastated and families displaced. Reacting to the incident, President Bola Tinubu condemned the attack and directed security agencies to rescue the captives and bring the perpetrators to justice. The Church confirmed the attack. Stephen Kabirat, director of communications for the Diocese of Kontagora, told BusinessDay.ng on January 5 that a parish priest narrowly escaped abduction days earlier. “They vandalised religious items, took two motorcycles and more …More

1 John 4:7-10 "Love is of God." Let us meditate on this for just one week. Love, joy, and peace comes from God; they are God. Mark 6:34-44 Let us note that the first nourishment Jesus gives, is teaching. Now, everything we say and everything others say to us is teaching. Let us carefully examine the words we speak and hear. Let us adjust them positively and realistically. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
This appointment is to thank the Liberal Party of Canada that under Trudeau and Carney have stolen 22 billion from the tax payer and give it to the corrupt Zelenskyy regime. Freeland has done nothing good for Canada.

She can send dozens of reports. Someone recently went to the W.H. and was explaining to trump how dangerous it was. His faces hem made made me sick. He didn't care to hear it at all. Just a wasted of time like everything else given to him.
Lexington’s Bishop Stowe on Venezuela: “I lament how the Pope’s words for January 1, the World Day of Prayer for Peace, in which he reiterated the call for an ‘unarmed and disarming peace’ were completely ignored by the US administration in pursuit of its own ill-defined goals and with reckless disregard for human life and rule of law.”
«There is a form of liturgical reductionism that the most zealous defenders of contemporary Catholicism often fall into. “It is still valid,” they assert, while ignoring that with each detail of the Church’s worship carried out sloppily or without care, a disease spreads among the faithful. The liturgy is not a sacrament machine, and the Mass is not a meal. For generations of medieval Catholics, who often received the Eucharist only once a year yet commonly and voluntarily attended Mass daily, this was clear. Every rubric of this most sacred worship mattered, consecration and communication alike. God deserves our very best. More than those in our romantic lives. More than those in our family lives. Certainly more than those in our professional lives. These loves are not in competition, nor are they opposed to love of God, and they deserve sincere devotion. But one love stands above all others, surpassing and enlivening them.... The rail slows us down. It stills the body. It grants the …More

BEFORE YOU ENTER THAT MARRIAGE, READ THIS You’re in love. You’ve prayed. You’ve found “the one.” And now, you can’t wait to walk down the aisle. That’s beautiful. Truly beautiful. But before you enter that marriage, pause… and ask yourself: “Is this union valid in the eyes of the Church?” Because in the Catholic Church, not every relationship, no matter how emotional or romantic, can become a sacramental marriage. There are things called impedimentis, spiritual and canonical walls that can make a marriage invalid even if both parties love each other deeply. Let’s walk through them carefully. 1. Already Married to Someone Else (Prior Bond) You cannot marry someone who is already bound by a valid marriage. Love cannot erase a sacrament. Even if the civil court grants a divorce, the Church still recognizes the first valid bond, unless it’s annulled. (Canon 1085) 2. Holy Orders or Religious Vows A priest, deacon, or religious bound by solemn vows cannot marry. He has already given his …More
Cardinal Robert Sarah delivered a series of talks and homilies on liturgy and sacred music in the U.S. from November 21 to 23, as reported by NCRegister.com on January 3. His main points: - For decades, the Church’s liturgy has "too often been instrumentalized" and has become increasingly politicized. - Church hierarchy has "persecuted and excluded" those who have rightly called attention to liturgical abuses. - "The liturgy is not something that you or I can make up or change, even if we think we are experts—or even if we are bishops. We must be humble before the sacred liturgy, as it has been handed down to us through the Church’s tradition." - It is "even scandalous at times" to sing or play music in churches that is neither liturgical nor sacred. - Quoting Benedict XVI: "As far as the liturgy is concerned, we cannot say that one song is as good as another." - Different kinds of music belong in different places. Liturgical music is set apart exclusively for the worship of God. - …More
